Note
Hard link is a directory entry entry for a file. Each file can be considered to have at least one hard link. On NTFS drives, each file can have multiple hard links, so a file may appear in multiple directories (or even in the same folder with different names). Since all links refer to the same file, programs can open any link and modify the file as needed. A file was deleted from the file system only after all links to it were deleted. After you create a hard link, programs can use it like any other file name.
